Chapter 22: Sympathy
"Your lady asked you to come and serve me? What do you mean...you will follow me in the future and be my maid?"
Yang Xu asked uncertainly.
Painting thrush nodded shyly.
Yang Xu grinned and almost laughed out loud.
I really didn't expect that Yang Hongyu's long-legged girl would be so generous that she actually assigned the maid she ordered around her to serve her.
With the little maid Huamei, I will probably be able to live a decadent and depraved life like a top, a food and a mouthful, and a red sleeve, a fragrant night reading.
In the previous world, Yang Xu, a little white-collar worker, had only despised the lifestyle of this feudal dynasty rich class.
But now, facing the beautiful little maid in front of him, he was vaguely looking forward to it.
"It's not that I, Yang Xu, like this kind of decadent and depraved life, it's really forced by life..."
"I teach children to read and read in school every day, teach the villagers to carve and weave, and have to cook and wash clothes after returning home. How hard it is so hard!"
"Now the leader of the village pity me and sent a maid to help me wash and cook and clean the courtyard. This solved my worries and allowed me to better contribute to Yangjiazhai. Is this wrong?"
In order to enjoy the upcoming decadent and depraved life with peace of mind, Yang Xu enlightened himself in this way.
At this time, Yang Xu was full of gratitude to Yang Hongyu.
When he was a white-collar worker in the company, although he was busy with business and was exhausted every day, he still cooked and washed dishes, washed clothes and mopped the floor after returning home.
Even though I lived with my girlfriend later, I couldn't bear to let her do any housework and wanted to spoil her to heaven.
After arriving at Yangjiazhai, the pace of life suddenly slowed down, and there was no pressure to get married, etc., so he started to become lazy.
The reason why he now wants to make money is not only to satisfy his desire for food, but also to come to the city at the foot of the mountain to buy a few slave maids and help with laundry and cooking.
At this time, Yang Hongyu sent her close maid over, which was a timely help.
If Yang Hongyu was here, Yang Xu would have wanted to hug her and kiss her hard to show his gratitude.
However, when Yang Xu thought of asking for a young girl who was only fifteen years old to serve him, he felt guilty for no reason.
However, looking at the little girl Huamei's appearance, she seemed to be shy and happy, and obviously she was not resistant to coming to serve her.
When Yang Xu thought that this little girl often went to the school to eavesdrop. Did he think that after coming to his side, he could listen to himself telling jokes and stories every day?
"Huamei, your lady asked you to come to me. What do you think? If you feel wronged, I will talk to your lady now, and you will go back to her!"
Although he felt that he had figured out the little girl's mind, Yang Xu couldn't help asking.
Yang Xu has such a personality and does not like to force others to do things they don’t like, especially for a young and beautiful girl like the thrush.
If Huamei was unwilling to stay, she would take her to find Yang Hongyu and return her back.
If she is willing to follow her, she will be kind to her in the future. She will always feel that serving her is more worthwhile than staying with Yang Hongyu.
"Huamei has been with the lady for many years, and she is really reluctant to leave her. But when she comes to serve her husband, Huamei is very willing. Really, Huamei doesn't feel wronged... not at all! Please don't rush Huamei back!"
Huamei said softly, with a little begging in her tone.
Before Yang Hongyu asked her to come, Zeng Er asked her to stay with Yang Xu no matter what. She herself admired Yang Xu, so she had no slight resistance.
She had contacted Yang Xu several times and knew that Mr. Yang was easy-going and liked to get along with the villagers. Unlike other scholars, she was either cold and arrogant or stereotyped.
Especially Mr. Yang smiled and showed six white teeth, he looked really good.
Mr. Yang is both talented and speaks nicely. If he follows him, he will probably have a lot of fun in his future life?
When Huamei thought of this, she even felt that she should stay.
The little girl begged to stay, what else can Yang Xu say? She smiled and said, "Then stay... Well, when will I want to return to your lady? Tell me."
The thrush smiled happily and nodded vigorously.
In the past, when Yang Xu returned home, the first thing he did was to make a fire and cook, but now he was there, so he naturally didn't need to do anything like this.
When Huamei knew that Yang Xu liked reading, she moved the bamboo chair to the yard, poured hot tea for Yang Xu, and jumped to prepare supper.
Yang Xu took out the book, sat down in the chair, read it calmly for a moment, and then went to see the busy figure of the thrush.
The little girl seemed very happy to be able to stay. When she was busy, she smiled at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and hummed an unknown tune in her mouth, which sounded so pleasant.
After Yang Xu saw this scene, what came out of his heart at this moment was also full of joy and satisfaction.
After dinner, Huamei picked up the kitchen and saw Yang Xu sitting in the yard looking into the distance. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he moved out a bamboo stool and sat down behind him, held his cheeks with both hands, and looked in the same direction as Yang Xu.
"Datomed Thrush, do you have relatives?"
Yang Xu's voice suddenly came out quietly.
When Huamei heard him mention this, her little face suddenly became dark and she felt obviously depressed.
"When I was six years old, my family suffered a disaster, and all my relatives were killed by bad people... Thanks to the old village owner who saved me and brought me to Yangjia Village..."
The thrush tells the story of some of the remaining past events in his memory, and a bright little face full of sadness.
Yang Xu sighed and touched her head with his backhand: "Like you, I will never see my relatives..."
With a "ah" sound, he looked up at Yang Xu.
She never expected that Mr. Yang, who has always been cheerful and funny, would have the same experience as herself.
Judging from Mr. Yang's distracted look just now, he should be missing his relatives?
"We two have the same ills and pity for each other in the future, and we will depend on each other for life..."
"For me, you don't have to be trembling and be timid, just treat me as your brother... If you have anything, you can tell me, and you can let go of whatever you want..."
Yang Xu gently stroked the top of the thrush's head, and his voice became gentler.
In another world, Yang Xu has a younger sister who is about the size of a thrush and is in junior high school.
My sister is lively and cute, and she is invincible in youth. She likes to act cute and coquettishly by holding her arms. When she smiles, a pair of shallow dimples will appear on both sides of her mouth.
After I am not here, my sister will definitely be very sad. The smile that often hangs on her face may never be seen again.
And his parents whose temples were covered with white frost, who had disappeared as their son, and they didn't know how to mourn and sad.
Whenever Yang Xu thought of this, his heart ached and his eyes were blurred with tears.
However, since he traveled to the current world, Yang Xu knew that he and his relatives in another world might have become a forever deed.
During the days when he had just traveled, Yang Xu had been sad and desperate. He even woke up at midnight and found tears wet the bed pillow.
But Yang Xu has never been a sentimental person, and his mind is firm enough.
He told himself more than once that God deliberately teased himself and threw himself into this completely unfamiliar world, probably just to see himself crying and sad and desperate?
God wants to see his own jokes, but he is not as good as he wishes!
In the rest of my life, I will suppress the sorrow and longing of losing my loved ones in my heart, live well in this world and live a better life!
"Sir, you're crying..."
Huamei felt a chill on her hands. When she looked up, she noticed tears from the corners of Yang Xu's eyes.
"No... it's the wind and sand that make you confused..."
Yang Xu hurriedly rubbed his eyes.
It’s so embarrassing to cry in front of a little girl!
I looked around and saw that there was wind in the yard, but where did the sand come from?
Mr. Yang obviously cried, but he still didn't admit it...
"Dream thrush, do you want to hear the story?"
Yang Xu let out a sigh and decisively changed the subject.
"think!"
The thrush was refreshed and he no longer had to worry about whether the teacher cried or not.
Not long after, Yang Xu's low voice came from this small courtyard, accompanied by the laughter and sighs from the thrush from time to time.
